California Condor Eben McMillan 10 February 1964 verified the statements given me by his wife that he had seen no Condor this winter. a heavy fall of Smog Covered the San Joaquin Valley floor. I drove to Caliente at 10:30 A.m. Mr. Lawrence Brown, who runs the general store there had heard of no one seeing Condor this winter. A Mr. William Peterson came to the Caliente Store while I was there. He works for Kenneth Mebane on a ranch east of Bena, near the mouth of Caliente Creek. He said that Condor have come to the Bena area quite regularly in years past but that he has not seen them there for at least a year. Lawrence Ralls came into Caliente Store at 11:30 A.m. He has a ranch up-river from Caliente in the Lion Trail grade area. He also works on the County Road Crew in the Caliente Creek area. Thought he might have seen a Condor off the Lion Trail Grade about a week ago, but when I told him that Condor only have white under the wings decided it was an immature Golden Eagle for it had white, above, at the base of its tail. Mr. Ralls did feel sure that in 1942 he saw great numbers of Condor feeding on Calves that had been killed by dogs in the Old Town area of Tehachapi Valley. This location is about two miles west of the present town of Tehachapi. He said that dogs would come every night and kill two or three Calves from a herd he was tending there. Condor would come during the day to feed on these Calves. When Ralls would be going out to feed the Cattle he would come upon great numbers of Condor feeding on the dead Calves that had usually been chased into a Canyon by the dogs before being killed -
